A man has been charged in connection to a homemade explosive device found at a Story City mobile home park.

Tyler C. Hammond, 29, is facing five charges.

Hammond is charged with dominion/control of a firearm by a domestic offender, a class D felony; two counts of reckless use of a firearm causing property damage, an aggravated misdemeanor; shooting across highway, simple misdemeanor; and driving under suspension.

According to the Story County Sheriff's Office, the charges stem from a video on social media of Hammond firing a rifle at traffic signs while driving on a public roadway.

Deputies executed the firearms arrest and search warrant around 9:30 a.m. Thursday at the Ledgestone Meadows mobile home park in Story City at 120 First St.

When deputies searched his residence, they located what they believed to be a homemade explosive device.

"Our immediate action was to back out safely from the trailer to notify the area residents and to get immediate residents out. Then we called for the assistance of the ATF," Story County Capt. Nicholas Lennie said.

People are being asked to avoid the area until its rendered safe by the State Fire Marshall's Office. Residents in the area have been notified.

The investigation is ongoing. Additional charges are pending.
